Deskripsi

The title compound, C19H28O3, the fungal-transformed metabolite of the steroid methyloestrenol contains four fused rings A, B, C and D. Ring A adopts a half-chair and the trans-fused rings B and C adopt chair confirmations; the five-membered D ring is folded like an envelope. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked by O—H...Ocarbonyl and O—H...Ohydroxy hydrogen bonds into a layer structure.
